Um, uh, I think that in China, lawyers, these kinds of professionals, function function as a kind of legal guarantor. Uh, especially in, uh, civic and commercial actions and projects, lawyers play an essential role. First of all, that’s because, um, every single person, when they become involved in things like projects [involving] the civil administration—business problems often lead to this kind of thing—you generally need the help of a lawyer to come, uh, to come apply Chinese law, and to communicate within the context of the Chinese legal system. Um, first, lawyers, uh, I think lawyers allow businesspeople to correctly position themselves within the Chinese legal system; they can tell you [how to] avoid unnecessary legal risks and other related problems. Then, if you’re involved in a dispute, you can go through the lawyer to file a lawsuit directly in the courts. Then the lawyer will directly resolve all the related problems. Um, if there are problems with the application of the law, um, in, I think another thing that’s really important is that, for businesspeople in China, lawyers are an important conduit for interpersonal connections and communications. That’s because China is an empathetic society. When people are communicating, in communication, um, feelings carry more weight, I think, than the substance [of a conversation]. Now, as a group that excels at communicating and excels at making connections within the whole legal system, lawyers can, in this respect, whether you’re talking doing business or some other problem, they can be very useful. I think if you want to do business in China or engage in commercial transactions, you, it’s essential that you find a good lawyer. | 嗯,啊,我认为律师这种职业在中国它起到了一种法制上的保障作用。啊,特别是在,啊,民事或者是商业的那些行为跟那些案子里面,律师是一种不可或缺的角色。因为首先,嗯,每一个人如果他涉入了民事行政案件这种,因为在商业问题中很容易碰到这样的事情,一般你都必须借助律师来达到,啊,达到适用中国法律,以及在中国的法律系统之中进行相应沟通的作用。嗯,首先律师的话,呃,我认为律师可以让商人在中国的那个法律体系中找到他准确的定位,可以建议你规避一些不必要的法律风险以及一些相关的问题。然后当你如果有一些纠纷的时候,通过律师可以直接向法院进行申诉。然后律师会直接的处理掉相关的所有问题。嗯,如果是在法律适用上有一些问,嗯,在,我认为还有一定很重要的事,律师是作为商人在中国一个很重要的人际以及沟通的渠道。因为中国作为一个人情社会而言,它在人的沟通,沟通方面的,呃,比重我觉得是大于实际的内容比重的。而律师作为很善于沟通以及很善于与整个法律系统进行联系的一、一类特殊人群来说,它在这方面,不管是说对作生意还是对其他问题而言,都能够起到很好的作用。我觉得,如果你希望在中国做生意或者进行一些商业往来的话,你,找一个好律师是不可缺少的。 |
